Chuck was feeling antsy in class, he could barely sit still. He stared blankly as Mr. Varley when on and on and Moby Dick metaphors. He felt a soft elbow on his side.

Serena looked at him. "Are you alright?"

He nodded and leaned over. "The body they found. It's not Georgina."

Serena wasn't sure what that meant. "That's a good thing, right?"

He shook his head. "It was a mannequin. Wearing a long wig and the clothes that Georgina was wearing the night she went missing. When It also had 'I know what you did. xoxo -G' written in Sharpie on its chest."

"What? Are you serious?"

Chuck nodded. "I just can't figure out what this all means."

Serena felt her heart drop. "They're sending us a message."

Mr. Varley stood in front of their desks. "Mr. Bass…did you hear anything I just said? If you would take your eyes off of Ms. Van der Woodsen for just a second you might have."

Chuck rolled his eyes just as the bell rang. He jumped up and grabbed his backpack. "I have to go tell the others."

Serena was the last one in the classroom. She purposefully took long to put her things away so that she could be alone with her teacher. She flung her bag on her shoulder and walked up to his desk.

He looked up at her and smiled. "Are you coming to my apartment tonight?"

She shook her head. "I can't tonight." She was too freaked out about that Chuck had told her to be without her best friends. "I'll go over tomorrow."

He looked disappointed but nodded anyway. "Okay."

…

"You're sleeping with our English teacher? Serena, what the hell is wrong with you!"

Serena rolled her eyes at Nate and shot Blair a dirty look. "I told you that in confidence, B!"

Blair shrugged and left the room. Serena turned to Nate. "I don't need you looking out for me, it's not a big deal."

"It's not a big deal? He could get arrested!"

She shook her head. "Not if no one finds out. Besides, all the sneaking around makes it exciting."

Nate gave her a disgusted look. "I can't believe you."

She gave him a small smile. "Would it make you feel better if I told you that I think of you the whole time?" She leaned over and gave him a quick kiss.

Nate stepped back and wiped his lips. "I'm not in the mood for your games."

She frowned. "What's up your ass?"

Chuck walked into the room. "I told him about the doll."

Nate let out a frustrated sigh. "Who would do that?"

All four of their phones rang at the same time. It was their lawyers. They were being called to the police station, again.

They sat in a small room while their lawyers talked to the police officers. Chuck looked around the room for any cameras or recording devices, there was nothing except a table, four chairs, and a small ashtray in the middle of the table. He leaned over and lowered his voice. "We know nothing."

Nate nodded. "What if they ask about…"

Blair interrupted him. "Don't. We don't owe that bitch anything."

Serena nodded. "You're right."

"Nothing." Chuck said again and they all nodded.

…

Serena walked in to her teacher's apartment once it was dark and no one would see her. Pete greeted her with a big kiss on the lips and helped her out of her coat.

"Did you make dinner? That smells great."

He nodded. "Yeah. I hope your hungry."

She smiled. "I am."

"I heard about that missing girl, Georgina. I didn't have her in my class but I know she was your friend so I wanted to cheer you up."

"That's sweet of you. She wasn't really my friend though. I only really have 3 friends."

"That Chuck kid, right? And Blair, right? She has a hundred and ten percent in my class and keeps doing all the extra credit assignments, she gets annoyed when I ask her why she keeps doing them."

Serena laughed. "That's Blair. She's a perfectionist."

He laughed. "I could tell. Who else?"

Serena got that warm feeling in her stomach, the one she always did when she thought about Nate. "Nate…Archibald."

Pete thought for a second. "Oh. That kid who looks like he walked out of a Calvin Klein ad?"

She smiled. There was so much more to him than that. "Yup. That's Nate."

…

Nate splashed his face with cold water so he could wake up. But the truth was he'd never really gone to sleep, he kept getting text messages from restricted numbers and they all said the same thing: Tell xoxo. Nate wasn't even sure what that meant.

He smoked a blunt before school but even that wasn't enough to take the edge off. He was feeling paranoid and that was making him jumpy.

"Nate!"

Nate jumped and turned angrily. "Shit. Blair! What do you want?"

Blair shot him a dirty look. "I've been calling your name for the past 5 minutes. Why are you so cranky? Does it have something to do with Serena and a hot English teacher?"

He rolled his eyes. "Trust me, I'm not worried. We both know she's only doing that for…"

"For the thrill of it." Blair finished. They knew Serena too well. "So then why is it?"

Nate took out his phone and showed Blair all his text messages. "I think they have the wrong number. I tried calling but it's restricted so it won't go through."

Blair looked like she'd just seen a ghost. "It's not the wrong number…"

"How do you know?"

She pulled Nate away from where anyone else could here. "I've been getting messages too." She pulled out her phone and showed him the texts she'd gotten: Take xoxo.

Nate frowned. "Who the hell is it? They sign each message with xoxo. You don't think it's…Gossip Girl…"

Blair shook her head. "Gossip Girl isn't this clever. Besides even she doesn't know about…you know…"

"Is that what this has to do with?"

"I'm sure of it. I don't know how it's connected but it is. For now, let's just keep these texts to ourselves, okay?"

…

Serena looked at Blair. "This ridiculous."

Chuck nodded. "Just put a smile on. It would look a bit suspicious if we didn't go."

Blair rolled her eyes. "Just because she's missing doesn't mean that we need to bow to her feet. This is exactly what she wants, to be the center of attention."

Nate shot Blair an incredulous look. "Jeez, Blair, cut the girl some slack."

Chuck nodded. "This isn't really for Georgina. This is to raise money for…for what again?"

"For the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children." Serena said, reading the banner behind them.

"And they have a big ass picture of her ugly ass face right in the reception hall. I couldn't give a flying fuck about…Mrs. Sparks, how lovely to see you." Blair finished off with a sweet tone.

Mrs. Sparks gave them all a sad smile. "Oh, thank you Blair. Thank you all for coming. I know it must be hard for you to be here…as it is for me but…it's important to raise awareness."

Serena waited for her to walk away before speaking again. "I thought she'd run away to the Hamptons…"

Blair shrugged. "I guess she's back."

All four of their phones chimed at the same time. They read their text messages in a low voice: Someone better make a speech pronto…or everyone finds out about S and her boo, xoxo.

Blair looked around the room. "Who the hell is sending these messages? Chuck, I want you to get your PI on this, immediately." She walked away.

Serena grabbed Blair's arm and turned her back. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to save your ass. She may be bluffing but I sure as hell don't want to find that out, do you?"

Serena nodded and Blair walked to the center of the room. She clanked a fork against her champagne glass and waited for everyone to turn to her.

Serena swelled up with pride and she watched Blair go on and on about how Georgina didn't deserve this. Blair stopped midway through the speech because she was sobbing so hard, several people ran to her to wipe her tears.

Blair put a handkerchief over her face and rejoined her friends. They all looked pleased. "And that's how it's done. Now I'm so upset that I can no longer stand to be here. We can go now."
